Shame Lions faded late thought they'd cover
The Titans/Rabbitohs under just holds was so far behind but good defense late and we just hold. As I said, overs game but 44.5 is just so many lol landed on 44
Carlton look terrible early. I have a middle on Melb/Newcastle game if Melb win a close one but eff nothing at risk there late money came from Newcastle
Adding some Raiders lead HT and win -120 to go with my altline so let's make that an official bet too I like it above 1.8

18-14-1 +1.03u
Carlton +10.5 W
Brisbane Lions -17.5 L
Titans/Rabbitohs u44.5 W
Raiders -1.5 -208 (fine to -7.5 main line imo) W
Raiders HT/WIN -120 L
21-14-1 +1.72u after today
I actually won tons today though as I was super heavy on Raiders -1.5 and it's the 2nd leg of my two major parlays this week, one has Roosters -5.5 and Sharks -1.5 altlines left for one and for the other other just Sharks -1.5, to win 2.4 and 2.5u so got a huge Sharks sweat tomorrow
Pending for tomorrow we have Sharks -5.5 -110 and Sharks -1.5 -161 the -5.5 still widely available if anyone wants it and I really like it, bit worried it came back from 6 to 5.5 today but even if a player's out late i'd still bet it. I make the Sharks side as listed -10 for this game
We also have Roosters -16 from memory (shoulda had -15.5 early in wk but wanted to get on before I posted it so posted the price that was available at time I took for thread)
Gonna hunt around for Bulldogs u2.5 tries or u12.5 pts somewhere see if I can find a nice line too

That Blues game was ridiculous, 3 tries with 25mins left and a healthy lead and they kick 3 penalty goals then are attacking the line right at the end and fail to score. Feels like I had the right side but very annoying it went o28.5 (their team pts total yet tries went under somehow)
GL Sharks, market's back at -4.5 or so (same thing as -5.5 basically with how nrl scoring works 5 is semi worthless) due to Moylan being out but I still really like the Sharks to get the job done here

Taking u42.5 for Bulldogs/Roosters at -110
Added some Bulldogs u2.5 tries -175 as well nowhere near as good as the early u12.5 line but to be honest I think they score over 2.5 tries probably less than a third of the time maybe around 25-30% or so
I don't see the Bulldogs scoring more than 12 points very often at all and it'll often be 6 or even 0
I'm also going to take a flier on Bulldogs score 0 points +1100 I think that happens well over 10% of the time. They'll get exactly 0 or a single try a lot I think.
Will update after tomorrows game but slightly in the red after today's posted spots unfortunately.
I think the Roosters win like 34-6 or something a lot tomorrow if I have to pick an exact result. Wouldn't surprise me if they won 32-0 or 50-0 though or 30-12 or whatever isn't that unlikely but 42.5 does seem a tad high even though the Roosters will slice through the Bulldogs and score 5+ tries a lot, I think this is a 7 try match as 'par' so 42.5 is slightly too high but I drastically prefer
Tolman's out too now, the Bulldogs just don't have any advantages anywhere, they did defend better last week vs the hapless Dragons but i'd be shocked if they have more than a try or two in them at absolute max against the Roosters elite defense. Roosters should put on 5-6 tries or so on average, and Bulldogs 0-2
I think the Bulldogs defense will hold up a bit in the first half then concede a bit more in the second but I wouldn't be surprised to see a 12-0 or 12-6 Roosters HT score before it winds up 38-0 or 32-6 or something
Let's see how it goes I guess. The Sharks loss today hurt, I stood to win over 5 units if it got up due to closing a couple multi leg boosted parlays. I do feel good about the Bulldogs not scoring very many points though

Annoying way for the under to lose, Bulldogs TT unders were a lock and Roosters got up
Annoyingly had a lot on u42.5 and it died to a garbage time try after looking bad early, but whatever onto the next one
Super frustrating weekend could have easily been a big winning weekend but lost a few with seconds left etc the ones decided right on full time didn't break my way

Ok so for official plays
21-14-1 +1.72u
After grading Blues, Sharks and Roosters games (Blues tries over loss, Sharks 2 bets lose, Roosters game we win side and the two team total unders, and lose the match under in the dying seconds)
24-18-1 -0.19u
I didn't really specify whether that +1100 flier was an official bet for the thread (I did specify the St Kilda team total and over weren't, they went 1-1 anyway), i'm gonna say not but if it is we can lower our results by an extra unit to -1.19u. Moving forward I won't bet anything more than -500 or +500 for official thread purposes as they'll skew records too much if we hit a big underdog or lose a big fav and in reality I size way down on big favs/dogs in terms of the to win and risk respectively but will still post leans on big favs/dogs etc if I think something's value - but I won't count anything above or below -500/+500 towards our results and it should be fairly rare I post anything like that. Bulldogs to score 0 was definitely +EV in hindsight, they didn't score until the final quarter of the game but I only had like 0.1u to win 1u and change approx on it in reality anyway so w/e
So we'll call it 24-18-1 -0.19u for now, dipped into the red for the first time after a heater to start, hopefully get back on track this week with some nice wins
I did get some super early GWS and North Melb lines that I knew would be off market due to their results as North won and GWS's opponents looked like garbage and GWS had already lost, but not gonna count them for the thread as the numbers I got weren't widely available and I only got on small through a niche PPH book

2-9-0 = -3.2U
